"Eunbi Kim plays with passion, command and great warmth." – Fred
Hersch
Eunbi Kim has performed in esteemed venues across the United States
including the 92Y, National Museum for Women in the Arts, Carnegie
Hall, and Asia Society of Texas Center. She is the creator
of Murakami Music, an internationally lauded theatrical piece that
explores the pianists in Haruki Murakami’s novels. Her work, re:
last night, inspired by late night conversations and influenced by
the in-between states of dreams and delirium, was directed by Daniel
Bernard Roumain. It employed an original commissioned work by Roumain
for piano and recorded voices, as well as music from Fred Hersch, Toby
Twining, William Albright and Nikolai Kapustin.
Twelve-time Grammy nominee, Fred Hersch, is celebrated as an
innovative pianist in jazz music and known for a personal and
expressive pianistic style. He has broken deeply rooted barriers
as the first openly gay, HIV-positive jazz player, and has lived with
the disease for over 30 years. His newly released memoir, “Good
Things Happen Slowly: A Life In and Out of Jazz,” chronicles his
career, including re-building his health and technique after a
months-long coma in 2008 left him unable to hold even a pencil.
